Bits & Bobs We ♥: Clever Kids Clothes

by Emily on March 12, 2012

I just returned from a 3 day trip across the lake (with my students) where I got to spend a little bit of free time wandering a mall that I only step foot in 2 times a year. These rare occasions only occur when I’m headed to my student’s conference, which means that I have a bit of window shopping time without Pip. With the Spring and Summer lines filling up the children’s stores, I had a great time browsing through the cute clothes and swimwear.

One stop had me trying to figure out the fastest way to the fabric store! Hanna Andersson has these adorable tops that turn into skirts! Check it out…

Isn’t that a great idea? You can see from the above photos that the top/skirt has an elastic smock top but the straps are just buttoned in. So when the top becomes too small, or you’re looking for outfit variation (and who isn’t when they’re 6…that was a joke) you just unbutton the straps and pull it down to a skirt! Model on the right has the top while model on the left has the skirt. Seriously I need to make this!

I really do ♥ clever kids clothes. They grow out of it so darn fast, why not have 2 ways to wear a great summery print!
